  "account": "Power outages left hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian homes without electricity on Sunday after Russian strikes, President Volodymyr Zelensky reported. Meanwhile, Russian authorities said an industrial site in Nizhny Novgorod sustained major damage following Ukrainian drone attacks. Despite a six-day ceasefire nearing its end, both sides continued intense fighting and long-range air assaults. President Zelensky claimed Russia targeted power infrastructure in four Ukrainian regions overnight, overwhelming missile defenses. Meanwhile, Ukraine struck a plant in Russia's Rostov region, allegedly involved in missile manufacturing. Local officials in Ternopil worked to restore power, while Russian officials did not comment on the reported Ukrainian attack. Nizhny Novgorod's governor reported significant industrial facility damage from Ukrainian drones, though the site was unspecified. The region houses Russia's largest oil refinery. Ukraine's air force claimed to have shot down 371 of 433 Russian drones launched since Saturday. Kyiv urged motorists to purchase fuel sparingly to prevent panic buying, hinting at a possible Russian attack on oil-refining or fuel infrastructure.",
